Yellowstone/ Tetons

























We woke this morning in West Yellowstone and set out early for a mini-tour of Yellowstone on our way down to the Tetons. Let's just say we hit all the "hot spots" A morning viewing of Old Faithful and stops at various areas in the caldera. At one overlooking Yellowstone Lake we found a young elk curious about some Canadian tourists.

On our way over Craig's Pass we stopped at Isa Lake. This tiny water lily choked lake in a small depression is unique because each end of the lake drains into each side of the Continental Divide.

Later on now in the Grand Tetons Park we came across our first roadsideGrizzly. He was nosing around next to the highway and as I shot this photo Mary noticed a Mountain Lion slinking off into the background. We suspected a kill that the Grizzly ended up scavenging.
